Pebble Plaster Pool Remodel | Spa Wall Rebuild & Step Repairs
Transforming a Damaged Pool with a Pebble Plaster Finish
When it comes to a pool remodel, homeowners often look for both durability and beauty. One of the best ways to achieve that balance is with a pebble plaster pool finish. In this project, we tackled serious structural issues—including a leaking spa wall, bad gunite on the pool steps, and failing mastic on the stone coping—before resurfacing the entire pool with a stunning pebble plaster remodel.
Rebuilding the Spa Wall After a Leak
A common problem in older pools is leaks in the spa dam wall. In this case, the original wall was built with poor gunite that eventually failed. To properly fix the issue, our team completely rebuilt the spa wall for long-term strength and water-tightness. This is a crucial step before applying a new finish, ensuring the pool remodel lasts for decades.
Repairing Pool Steps with Bad Gunite
Bad gunite isn’t just a cosmetic issue—it can cause structural weakness and safety concerns. The steps in this pool had to be reconstructed to restore durability and provide a safe entry into the water. Once repaired, the new pebble plaster finish gave the steps a beautiful, slip-resistant surface.
Fixing Mastic Around the Stone Coping
Part of every quality pool remodel is addressing the details that protect your investment. The mastic around the stone coping was deteriorating, which can allow water to seep in and cause damage. We replaced the mastic to protect the pool shell and improve the overall appearance.
The Pebble Plaster Installation Process
The highlight of this remodel is the pebble plaster installation. Pebble finishes are one of the most popular options for pool resurfacing because they combine luxury aesthetics with long-lasting performance.
Here’s what makes pebble plaster stand out:
- ✅ Durability: Pebble finishes last much longer than standard plaster.
- ✅ Natural Look: Pebbles create a beautiful, organic appearance that complements outdoor spaces.
- ✅ Texture & Safety: Provides a slip-resistant surface that feels natural underfoot.
- ✅ Color Options: Available in a variety of tones for a custom look.
During installation, the pebble mixture is applied to the pool surface, carefully washed to reveal the stone texture, and polished for a smooth, high-end finish. Our remodel video gives homeowners a unique look at this process up close.
